Portrait Photo Shoot - Lawrenceville, GA

We enjoy working with Ariana who is not only a pretty face but she also does charity work and she's a college student. We met her at the 2017 Miss Georgia International in which she won the Teen category (at 19 yrs old). Her and her mother have what I'd call a "Beauty Background" with pageantry, make up and hair not to mention their wonderful caribbean heritage. Her and her mother both exude beauty with the rich dark skin, full lips and dark hair. Their smiles are both memorable as well and will really captivate a room.

I was more than excited to get the opportunity to work with Ariana after the pageant on 2 different occasions. All of her photos are shot here at my studio in Lawrenceville, GA and with them based in Snellville, GA it makes things easy being so close. As you will notice the camera just loves her. We shoot with Canon cameras and lenses but also use Tamron and Sigma lenses as well.

During the shoot we had a couple of minor issues as even if you PLAN everything out....sometimes something will go wrong. During this photo shoot her green dress wouldn't fit or "lay" the way we wanted but luckily her Mom was able to make it work with some magical safety pin work!

I also was trying to go for a great shot by a fireplace. This was a "test" shot for me so I had to play with and adjust my lighting for a bit to get the placement and color just right. Ariana was a very patient model and allowed me the time to fix and adjust to finally get the shot.
